Dr Ross Walker – Tips On Improving Heart Health
Heart issues are common. However it is possible to be able to minimise the chance of developing a heart issue with the right knowledge.
You can find lots of information online these days but often doing a search raises more questions than answers.
Should I eat saturated fats or not. How much exercise should I be doing? Is it possible to do too much exercise?
The science behind heart health is changing and there are many opinions that are conflicting.
So what we did was decided to chat to the leading preventative heart health expert in Australia, Dr Ross Walker, who is a practicing cardiologist with 40 years of experience. If in doubt, ask the best.
Dr. Walker is an eminent practitioner with a passion for health and people and is considered one of the world’s best keynote speakers and life coaches. He is the author of seven best-selling books & a regular health presenter in the Australian Media.
We cover many topics including, diet, exercise and even Novak Djokovic!
